Connoisseurs Guide to Wine 90
"Mildly minty in scent, awash in rich oak and smelling of sweet, well-ripened cherries, this bottling turns out to be a bit rounder in feel and flavor compared to its sibling.as its relatively open aromas clearly suggest. It shows fine fruity depth and the usual Diamond Creek tannins, but it is a little less sturdy in character and not so tough at the finish. Not at all ready to drink, it has a long future before it and looks to be a few years ahead of its mates on the aging curve."
